I wondered about the covering thing too. For one thing, it seems likely the seat pans were painted after the padding was crimped on. If so, there is llikely to be some masking type covering that was on the seat and would still be pinched in the crimp. I have thought about prying one open enough to see what is still in the crimp. (Darrell Darst could probably answer that.) If the black covering was crimped in masking, it should be showing some red on it. If on the other hand some protective covering was added after painting, would it stop at the edge of the pad or wrap around the edge? It appears to stop right at the edge of the padding. All in all, I'm still inclined to think we are seeing the actual seat rather than a covering in this picture.
Here are 3 more pictures from WHS to add to the mix:
The first, based on the barn in the background, appears to have been taken on an IH exec's farm. Seat is unlikely to have a shipping cover there and it is black. An oddity is red rims on the same tractor.
The other two are listed as taken the following year. I don't know where the first was taken, but it had a black seat and silver rims. The other one clearly has a silver seat. That indicates that silver seats were used shortly after 1948.

Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
